Finally got a liner lock I can trust. Love the blade shape, ergos, grind, everything. Wegner Jr. has a full spacer (i.e., no exposed "blade" when closed to be damaged by change, other junk in pockets) and the best opening "THWACK" going. Question - the liner does "walk"...

RC is tricky - saw Talonite ratings (low!) and almost fell over. It's about hardness, lubricity and other factors (grind, geometry, etc.) Unless we are all metalurgists, some 'microscopic' variances won't make that big a difference.
